A moment can be 
so filled with fright,
you wonder if you'll make it
through the long night,

you say your prayers,
and hope things will be
just a bit calmer,
with all fears set free.

You remember to breathe
long and deep breaths
but your terror is reaching
deeper unknown depths.

You wonder where the light is
or a better outlook,
how to find hope,
or understand the Good Book.

You ask of the universe
to send you a sign
tell you your path
or your purpose divine,

and all the while asking
and waiting to hear,
your heart pounds inside
"will the answer come near"?
